[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7521773, member: 20564"] Depends on the feel I'm going for the campaign. Though I detail how replacement characters due to death, due to retirement,a nd new players coming in get treated at the beginning of any campaign. In a "Damn Big Heroes" game, they'll come back same level. This is probably my most common. I've done stables where everyone had 3 PCs and you can advance a lower level character when a higher level one levels. New PCs enter your stable at 1st. When I used to do individual XP you'd come back at minimum XP to match level with the lowest level party member. I've given bonuses to new characters who intentionally martyred themselves to save the party. All in all, it comes back to the feel I'm pushing for a campaign. Grim and gritty, heroic, etc. With 5e I find that heroic fits the mechanical assumptions well if I'm not tweaking (variant rest rules or something). [/QUOTE]
